In the File to restore box, type the name of the file you want to expand. Or, to locate the file you want to replace, click Browse File , and then click Open. In the Restore from box, type the path from which to restore the file. Or, to locate the source file you want to expand on your Windows Server installation disk, click Browse From , and then click Open.
If the Save file in box is not already populated from step 4, type the path to which you want the file to be restored. There are probably lots of different reasons why it's not enabled. IMHO it's the exact opposite of "long term stability".
Edited to add System Restore also has the potential to make someone lazy and lull them into a false sense of security with regard to patches, installing software, etc. Improve this answer. GregD GregD 8, 1 1 gold badge 22 22 silver badges 35 35 bronze badges.
System Restore is a "Good Enough" type operation. It's good enough to get a WinXP workstation up and running long enough to back up all the data the user should have been backing up all along and then do a wipe and reimage. Don't even get me started on System Restore archiving viruses Oh, gosh, didn't think of that one.
When that happens, just disable System Restore and let it flush all the backups. Had one with about 15 saved copies of the original viral content. I see it didn't think it through. I've always used System Restore on my workstation as a testing device: install this app, look at what it does, make some notes, back out the change, all usually in that same day.
This is what my planned method was on the server. I guess what I'm really wondering about is "what is the equivalent of Source Code Control for a running machine?
There are numerous things you can do. I'm not shilling BE, just mentioning it because I've used it in the past. Show 1 more comment. Lots of features are left off by default.

I'd suggest removing the rambling and irrelevant bits, just leaving a clear concise answer. Well done. Downvote removed.

It will ask you where the files are, so point to the XP CD. That was easy, now comes the tricky part. If you look at it in services. This got me thinking so I opened up sr. So it seems the sr.
On the right side I saw netsvcs. I double clicked on it, but could not find SRService this is the name for system restore. On a hunch, at the bottom I added SRService, rebooted, and this time got no error on startup. I opened up rstrui.
